BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a light emitting display panel.

Discussion of the Related Art

Since light emitting display apparatuses display an image by using a self-emitting device, the light emitting display apparatuses have a fast response time, low power consumption, and a good viewing angle, and thus, are attracting much attention as next-generation display apparatuses.

Each of a plurality of pixels of a light emitting display panel configuring a light emitting display apparatus includes a pixel driving circuit. The pixel driving circuit controls a level of a current flowing from a driving power source to a light emitting device on the basis of switching of a driving transistor based on a data voltage, thereby allowing the light emitting device to emit light. Therefore, the light emitting display apparatus displays a certain image.

In the light emitting display panel, a current flowing in the light emitting device of each pixel may vary based on a deviation of a threshold voltage of the driving transistor caused by a process deviation. Therefore, even when the same data voltages are supplied to pixel driving circuits of the light emitting display panel, a current output from the driving transistor may vary for each pixel, and due to this, uniform image quality may not be realized. Therefore, an internal compensation circuit for compensating for the threshold voltage of the driving transistor is included in the each of the pixel driving circuits.

Recently, a light emitting display panel applied to mobile electronic devices, virtual image display apparatuses, or head-mounted display apparatuses is progressively increasing in resolution. As a resolution of a light emitting display panel increases progressively, a size of each pixel is progressively reduced.

Therefore, it is difficult to form (or place) a pixel driving circuit, including an internal compensation circuit, in a pixel, and due to this, it is difficult to manufacture a high-resolution light emitting display panel.

SUMMARY

Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a light emitting display panel that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

Advantages and features of the present disclosure, and implementation methods thereof will be clarified through following embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. Further, the present disclosure is only defined by scopes of claims.

A shape, a size, a ratio, an angle, and a number disclosed in the drawings for describing embodiments of the present disclosure are merely an example, and thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the illustrated details. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, when the detailed description of the relevant known function or configuration is determined to unnecessarily obscure the important point of the present disclosure, the detailed description will be omitted. In a case where ‘comprise’, ‘have’, and ‘include’ described in the present specification are used, another part may be added unless ‘only-’ is used. The terms of a singular form may include plural forms unless referred to the contrary.

In construing an element, the element is construed as including an error range although there is no explicit description.

In describing a position relationship, for example, when a position relation between two parts is described as ‘on˜’, ‘over˜’, ‘under˜’, and ‘next˜’, one or more other parts may be disposed between the two parts unless ‘just’ or ‘direct’ is used.

In describing a time relationship, for example, when the temporal order is described as ‘after˜’, ‘subsequent˜’, ‘next˜’, and ‘before˜’, a case which is not continuous may be included unless ‘just’ or ‘direct’ is used.

It will be understood that, although the terms “first”, “second”, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first element could be termed a second element, and, similarly, a second element could be termed a first element, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

In describing the elements of the present disclosure, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc., may be used. Such terms are used for merely discriminating the corresponding elements from other elements and the corresponding elements are not limited in their essence, sequence, or precedence by the terms. It will be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being “on” or “connected to” another element or layer, it can be directly on or directly connected to the other element or layer, or intervening elements or layers may be present. Also, it should be understood that when one element is disposed on or under another element, this may denote a case where the elements are disposed to directly contact each other, but may denote that the elements are disposed without directly contacting each other.

The term “at least one” should be understood as including any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed elements. For example, the meaning of “at least one of a first element, a second element, and a third element” denotes the combination of all elements proposed from two or more of the first element, the second element, and the third element as well as the first element, the second element, or the third element.

Features of various embodiments of the present disclosure may be partially or overall coupled to or combined with each other, and may be variously inter-operated with each other and driven technically as those skilled in the art can sufficiently understand.

The camera 600 may be provided in the rear surface of the organic light emitting display panel 100 and may perform a function of photographing a region in a forward direction with respect to the light emitting display panel 100.

In this case, the chip-on film may include a plurality of lines which electrically connect the controller 400, the data driver 300, and the light emitting display panel 100, and to this end, the lines may be electrically connected to the main board and a plurality of pads included in the light emitting display panel 100.

The data driver 400 may convert pixel data Pdata, provided from the controller 400, into an analog data voltage by using the data control signal DCS and a plurality of reference gamma voltages and may provide a converted data voltage to a corresponding data line DL.

The gate driver 200 may be configured as an integrated circuit (IC), and then, may be mounted in the non-display area IA or may be directly embedded into the non-display area IA.

The gate driver 200 may generate an initialization control signal, a scan control signal, and an emission control signal respectively corresponding to an initialization period, a sampling period, and an emission period of each of a plurality of pixels P on the basis of the gate control signal GCS provided from the controller 400 and may provide the initialization control signal, the scan control signal, and the emission control signal to the plurality of pixels P.

The transparent area AA1 may be formed to be transparent so that external light is incident on the camera 600. That is, the transparent area AA1 may perform a function of allowing external light, which is incident through a front surface of the light emitting display panel 100, to travel to the camera 600 provided in a rear surface of the light emitting display panel 100.

A width of the non-display area IA may be formed to be very small, and then, when most of the non-display area IA is covered by the external case 20, as illustrated in FIG. 1, only the display area AA may be exposed at the front of the electronic device.

A shape, a size, and the like of the transparent area AA1 may be various set for each electronic device. That is, in FIG. 1, a light emitting display panel where a whole upper end portion of the light emitting display panel 100 is included in the transparent area AA1 is illustrated as an example of the present disclosure, but the transparent area AA1 may be formed at a portion of the upper end portion of the light emitting display panel 100.

Here, the substrate having a non-tetragonal shape may include at least one protrusion portion or at least one notch portion.

The substrate according to an embodiment may include a colored polyimide material. For example, the substrate including a polyimide material may be formed by curing a polyimide resin which is coated to have a certain thickness on a front surface of a release layer provided in a relatively thick carrier substrate. In this case, the carrier substrate may be separated from the substrate by releasing the release layer through a laser release process. The substrate according to an embodiment may further include a back plate coupled to a rear surface of the substrate with respect to a thickness direction Z. The back plate may maintain the substrate in a flat state. The back plate according to an embodiment may include a plastic material, and for example, may include polyethylene terephthalate. The back plate may be laminated on the rear surface of the substrate separated from the carrier substrate.

According to another embodiment, the substrate may be a flexible glass substrate. For example, the substrate including a glass material may be a thin glass substrate having a thickness of 100 μm or less, or may be a carrier glass substrate which has been etched to have a thickness of 100 μm or less through a substrate etching process performed after a manufacturing process is completed.

The plurality of initialization voltage lines IVL may extend long in a second direction Y intersecting with a first direction X and may be apart from one another in the first direction X. Here, the first direction X may be a direction parallel to a widthwise direction of the substrate and the second direction Y may be a direction parallel to a lengthwise direction of the substrate. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the first direction X may be a direction parallel to the lengthwise direction of the substrate and the second direction Y may be a direction parallel to the widthwise direction of the substrate.

Each of the plurality of pixel driving voltage lines PL may transfer a pixel driving voltage, supplied from the data driver 300 or the power supply circuit, to a corresponding pixel among the plurality of pixels.

Each of the plurality of pixel driving voltage lines PL according to an embodiment may be disposed to correspond to two pixels each disposed adjacent to each other in the first direction X. That is, one pixel driving voltage line PL may be disposed to be shared by two pixels disposed adjacent to each other in the first direction X.

The common electrode layer may transfer a common voltage Vss, supplied from the data driver 300 or the power supply circuit, to the plurality of pixels. At least one common power supply line electrically connected to the common electrode layer may be provided in the display area AA.

A generic name for lines provided in parallel in one direction (for example, the second direction Y) among the lines may be signal lines. The signal lines may include the initialization voltage lines IVL, the data lines DL, and the pixel driving voltage lines PL. The scan control lines SCL and the emission control lines ECL may be connected to the gate driver 200, and thus, may be arranged in parallel with the first direction X.

Each of the plurality of pixels P may be disposed in a pixel area defined in the display area AA and may be electrically connected to a corresponding initialization voltage line IVL, a corresponding scan control line SCL, a corresponding emission control line ECL, a corresponding data line DL, a pixel driving voltage line PL, and the common electrode layer, which pass through the pixel area or are disposed near the pixel area.

In this case, in order to implement the light emitting display panel 100 having a high resolution, each of the scan control line SCL and the emission control line ECL may be disposed to pass through or by the pixel area, and each of the initialization voltage line IVL, the data line DL, and the pixel driving voltage line PL may be disposed at an outer portion of the pixel area. Also, two pixels disposed adjacent to each other in the first direction X may have a symmetrical structure with respect to the pixel driving voltage line PL.

The pixel driving circuit PDC may be applied a plurality of pixels P provided in the transparent area AA1 and may also be applied to a plurality of pixels P provided in the opaque area AA2.

However, an arrangement structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC included in each of the pixels provided in the transparent area AA1 may differ from an arrangement structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC included in each of the pixels provided in the opaque area AA2. That is, in order to increase a light transmittance of the transparent area AA1, an arrangement structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the transparent area AA1 may be formed to be different from an arrangement structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the opaque area AA2.

A structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the opaque area AA2 may be similar to a structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the opaque area AA2, which is used currently and generally, and thus, its detailed description is omitted.

The planarization layer 160 may be disposed on the substrate 10 to cover the second pixel circuit layer 120 and may provide a flat surface on the second pixel circuit layer 120.

The light emitting device layer 170 may be disposed on the planarization layer 160.

The encapsulation layer 190 may be formed on the substrate 10 to surround the light emitting device layer 170. The encapsulation layer 190 may prevent oxygen or water from penetrating into the light emitting device ED.

The encapsulation layer 190 according to an embodiment may include at least one inorganic layer for preventing or minimizing the penetration of oxygen or water and an organic layer which covers particles occurring in a manufacturing process. For example, the encapsulation layer 190 may include a first inorganic layer, an organic layer on the first inorganic layer, and a second inorganic layer on the organic layer.

Additionally, the pixel P according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a black matrix overlapping the bank pattern BNK and a wavelength conversion layer disposed in the opening area.

The black matrix may be disposed on the encapsulation layer 190 to overlap the bank pattern BNK.

The wavelength conversion layer according to an embodiment may include a color filter which is disposed on the encapsulation layer 190 overlapping the opening area of the pixel P to transmit only a color wavelength, set in the pixel P, of white light incident from the light emitting device ED. For example, the wavelength conversion layer may transmit only a wavelength of red, green, or blue. When the light emitting layer EL of the light emitting device ED includes a light emitting layer emitting red light, green light, and blue light, the wavelength conversion layer may be omitted.

The pixel P according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include a barrier film and a light path control layer.

The barrier film may be attached on the encapsulation layer 190 by using an adhesive layer. The barrier film may primarily prevent the penetration of oxygen or water and may include a material which is low in water vapor transmission rate.

The light path control layer may control a path of incident light.

The light path control layer according to an embodiment may include a plurality of refractive layers. The plurality of refractive layers may have different refractive indexes. The light path control layer may have a structure where a high refractive layer and a low refractive layer are alternately stacked. The light path control layer according to an embodiment may change a path of incident light to minimize a color shift phenomenon caused by a viewing angle.

According to another embodiment, the light path control layer may be a polarization layer. The polarization layer may change external light, reflected by TFTs and/or lines provided in the pixel P, to circularly-polarized light, thereby enhancing visibility and a contrast ratio.

An operation of a pixel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.

The pixel P according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may operate in an initialization period, a routing period, and an emission period. For example, one frame of a light emitting display apparatus to which a light emitting display panel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is applied may include an initialization period for initializing the gate of the driving transistor Tdr, a routing period for storing a sampling voltage and a data voltage each corresponding to a characteristic value (for example, a threshold voltage) of the driving transistor Tdr, and an emission period for allowing the light emitting device ED to emit light with a current corresponding to the data voltage.

In the initialization period, a low voltage may be supplied to the n-1^(th) scan control line SCL(n-1), and thus, the sixth transistor T6 may be turned on. In this case, a voltage of the third node n3 may be an initialization voltage Vinit. The third node n3 may be a portion connected to the second terminal of the capacitor C, the gate of the driving transistor Tdr, the first terminal of the fourth transistor T4, and the second terminal of the sixth transistor T6.

In the routing period, a low voltage may be supplied to the n^(th) scan control line SCL(n), and thus, the third transistor T3 may be turned on. In this case, the voltage of the third node n3 may be a sum voltage of a data voltage Vdata supplied through the data line DL and a threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Tdr. That is, the voltage of the third node n3 may be changed from the initialization voltage Vinit to the sum voltage (=Vdata+Vth) of the data voltage Vdata and the threshold voltage Vth.

In the emission period, a low voltage may be supplied to the emission control line ECL, and thus, the first transistor T1 and the second transistor T2 may be turned on. In this case, a current supplied to the light emitting device ED may be proportional to the square of a difference voltage between a gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor Tdr and the threshold voltage Vth. In the emission period, a gate voltage (i.e., the voltage of the third node n3) of the driving transistor Tdr may be the sum voltage (=Vdata+Vth) of the data voltage Vdata and the threshold voltage Vth, and a source voltage of the driving transistor Tdr may be a pixel driving voltage Vdd supplied through the pixel driving voltage line PL. Therefore, the difference voltage between the gate-source voltage Vgs of the driving transistor Tdr and the threshold voltage Vth may be [((Vdata+Vth)−Vdd)−Vth=Vdata−Vdd]. Therefore, a current supplied to the light emitting device ED may be proportional to the square of a difference voltage (=Vdata−Vdd) between the data voltage Vdata and the pixel driving voltage Vdd.

That is, according to the present disclosure, a current supplied to the light emitting device ED may be irrelevant to the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Tdr and may be determined by only the pixel driving voltage Vdd and the data voltage Vdata.

Therefore, according to the present disclosure, even when the driving transistor Tdr is degraded to cause a variation of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Tdr, a current supplied to the light emitting device ED may not be affected by the variation of the threshold voltage Vth. Accordingly, according to the present disclosure, the current may be controlled by only the data voltage Vdata regardless of the amount of variation of the threshold voltage Vth of the driving transistor Tdr.

However, a connection line connecting two corresponding nodes may directly connect the two corresponding nodes, or may connect the two corresponding nodes by using separate nodes and separate contact holes.

As described above, the first pixel circuit PC1 included in the first pixel circuit layer 110 may be electrically connected to the second pixel circuit PC2 included in the second pixel circuit layer 120 through the first to fourth connection lines CL1 to CL4.

The fourth connection line CL4 among the first to fourth connection lines CL1 to CL4, as illustrated in FIG. 11, may extend from the fourth node n4 of the first pixel circuit layer 110 to the second pixel circuit layer 120. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 11, a structure where the second transistor T2 is connected to the fifth transistor T5 is not clearly illustrated, but the second transistor T2 may be connected to the fifth transistor T5 through the fourth connection line CL4.

The first to third connection lines CL1 to CL3 may be provided in the light emitting display panel 100 as a type similar to the fourth connection line CL4 illustrated in FIG. 11.

FIG. 12 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a plane of each pixel of a light emitting display panel according to the present disclosure, and particularly, is an exemplary diagram illustrating a portion of a transparent area AA1.

As described above, the transparent area AA1 may include a first pixel circuit layer 110 including a first pixel circuit PC1, a second pixel circuit layer 120 which is provided on the first pixel circuit layer 110 and includes a second pixel circuit PC2, and a light emitting device layer 170 which includes at least one light emitting device ED provided on the second pixel circuit layer 120. The first pixel circuit PC1 and the second pixel circuit PC2 may be included in a pixel driving circuit PDC configuring one pixel.

That is, in the present disclosure, the pixel driving circuit PDC included in one pixel may be divided into the first pixel circuit PC1 and the second pixel circuit PC2, the first pixel circuit PC1 may be included in the first pixel circuit layer 110, and the second pixel circuit PC2 may be included in the second pixel circuit layer 120. Accordingly, a width of an area where the pixel driving circuit PDC is provided may be reduced compared to a width of an area where a pixel driving circuit applied to a light emitting display panel of the related art is provided.

Therefore, in one pixel P, an area of the pixel driving circuit PDC may be reduced, and thus, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the pixel driving circuit PDC may be provided in an area which does not overlap the light emitting device ED, and particularly, may be provided outside a light transmitting area AA1 a, transmitting light, of the pixel P. Therefore, a width of the light transmitting area AA1 a may increase, and thus, a light transmittance of the transparent area AA1 may increase.

Moreover, since the pixel driving circuit PDC does not overlap the light emitting device ED, the light emitting device ED may also be formed to be transparent, and thus, a light transmittance of the transparent area AA1 may be more enhanced.

Particularly, in the present disclosure, in order to simplify the form of the light transmitting area AA1 a and maximally increase an area of the light transmitting area AA1 a, the first pixel circuit PC1 and the second pixel circuit PC2 may be provided in an area which does not overlap the light emitting device ED. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12, a plurality of pixel driving circuits PDC each including the first pixel circuit and the second pixel circuit may be provided in an area which does not overlap a plurality of light emitting devices ED.

Moreover, a plurality of first light emitting devices and a plurality of second light emitting devices provided in the transparent area AA1 may be provided in one row in a first direction, and the second light emitting devices may be disposed to be staggered with respect to the first light emitting devices in a second direction. For example, when a widthwise direction of FIG. 12 is the first direction and a lengthwise direction of FIG. 12 is the second direction, the first light emitting devices may be provided in one row in the first direction, and the second light emitting devices may be provided in one row in the first direction.

In this case, the plurality of first light emitting devices and the plurality of second light emitting devices may not be provided in one row in the second direction and may be disposed to be staggered in the second direction.

Particularly, the plurality of first light emitting devices and the plurality of second light emitting devices may be disposed to face one another.

Moreover, like that the plurality of first light emitting devices and the plurality of second light emitting devices are disposed to be staggered, a plurality of first pixel circuit layers and a plurality of second pixel circuit layers connected to the first light emitting devices may be disposed to be staggered with respect to a plurality of first pixel circuit layers and a plurality of second pixel circuit layers connected to the second light emitting devices.

To provide an additional description, in the present disclosure, a plurality of transistors configuring the pixel driving circuit PDC may be distributed and disposed in the first pixel circuit layer 110 and the second pixel circuit layer 120, and the pixel driving circuit PDC may be formed to have, for example, a size of less than 25×10 μm. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 12, the pixel driving circuit PDC may be disposed under a black matrix, and thus, the light transmitting area AA1 a may increase.

Particularly, according to the present disclosure, an anode of the light emitting device (i.e., the pixel driving electrode AE) may include transparent metal, a line in the light transmitting area AA1 a may be removed, and the division of the light transmitting area AA1 a transmitting light may be minimized. That is, a size of the light transmitting area AA1 a may increase, and the form of the light transmitting area AA1 a may be simplified, thereby enhancing a light transmittance of the transparent area AA1.

That is, according to the present disclosure, a transparency of the light emitting display panel 100 may be maximized, and when a camera is disposed at a lower portion of the light emitting display panel, a reduction in amount of light may decrease, and the form of the light transmitting area AA1 a may be simplified, thereby preventing an image captured by the camera from being distorted by a diffraction of light.

A driving transistor Tdr for controlling the amount of current flowing to the at least one light emitting device ED may be included in at least one of the first pixel circuit layer 110 and the second pixel circuit layer 120.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a pixel P applied to the light emitting display panel according to the present disclosure may include a pixel driving circuit layer 130 including the pixel driving circuit PDC and a light emitting device layer 170 including a light emitting device ED electrically connected to the pixel driving circuit PDC.

The pixel driving circuit layer 130 may include a first pixel circuit layer 110 including a first pixel circuit PC1 and a second pixel circuit layer 120 including a second pixel circuit PC2.

In the present disclosure described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12, the first pixel circuit and the second pixel circuit may be included in a pixel driving circuit configuring one of a plurality of pixels provided in the transparent area AA1, and a light emitting device connected to the second pixel circuit may be included in the light emitting device layer 170. That is, in the present disclosure described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12, the first pixel circuit and the second pixel circuit may be included in the pixel driving circuit PDC included in the one pixel P.

However, in the light emitting display panel according to the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 13, the first pixel circuit PC1 may be a first pixel driving circuit PDC1 included in the first pixel P1, the second pixel circuit PC2 may be a second pixel driving circuit PDC2 included in the second pixel P2, and the light emitting device layer 170 may include a first light emitting device ED1 connected to the first pixel circuit PC1 and a second light emitting device ED2 connected to the second pixel circuit PC2.

That is, in in the light emitting display panel 100 according to the present disclosure illustrated in FIGS. 13 to 15, the first pixel circuit PC1 may be a pixel driving circuit PDC which is as illustrated in FIG. 3. In the following description, a pixel driving circuit included in a first pixel P1 may be referred to as a first pixel driving circuit PDC1, and the first pixel driving circuit PDC1 may be the same circuit as the first pixel circuit PC1.

Moreover, in the present disclosure, the second pixel circuit PC2 may be a pixel driving circuit PDC which is as illustrated in FIG. 3. In the following description, a pixel driving circuit included in a second pixel P2 may be referred to as a second pixel driving circuit PDC2, and the second pixel driving circuit PDC2 may be the same circuit as the second pixel circuit PC2.

To provide an additional description, in the present disclosure, the first pixel circuit PC1 and the second pixel circuit PC2 may be different pixel driving circuits included in the first and second pixels P1 and P2 which differ.

In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the first pixel circuit PC1 may be included in the first pixel circuit layer 110, the second pixel circuit PC2 may be included in the second pixel circuit layer 120 provided on the first pixel circuit layer 110, and the first light emitting device ED1 and the second light emitting device ED2 may be included in the light emitting device layer 170 provided on the second pixel circuit layer 120.

To provide an additional description, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the second terminal of the second transistor T2 of the first pixel circuit PC1 included in the first pixel circuit layer 110 may pass through the second pixel circuit layer 120 and may be connected to the first light emitting device ED1 included in the light emitting device layer 170, and particularly, may be connected to a first pixel driving electrode AE1 configuring the first light emitting device ED1.

Moreover, the second terminal of the second transistor T2 of the second pixel circuit PC2 included in the second pixel circuit layer 120 may be connected to the second light emitting device ED2 included in the light emitting device layer 170, and particularly, may be connected to a second pixel driving electrode AE2 configuring the second light emitting device ED2.

The planarization layer 160, as described above with reference to FIG. 3, may be provided between the second pixel circuit layer 120 and the light emitting device layer 170. Also, an encapsulation layer 190 covering the light emitting device layer 170 may be further provided on the light emitting device layer 170.

In the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 13, since the first pixel circuit PC1 and the second pixel circuit PC2 configuring different pixels overlap each other, a width of the light transmitting area AA1 a for transmitting light may increase in the transparent area AA1.

For example, in the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the transparent area AA1 may include a plurality of non-transmissive area AA1 b which include a plurality of first pixel circuits PC1 and a plurality of second pixel circuits PC2 and a plurality of light transmitting areas AA1 a which are provided between the plurality of non-transmissive area AA1 b and include a plurality of first light emitting devices ED1 and a plurality of light emitting devices ED2, connected to the plurality of first pixel circuits PC1 or the plurality of second pixel circuits PC2 provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b, and a plurality of signal lines for transferring a driving signal to the plurality of first pixel circuits PC1 and the plurality of second pixel circuits PC2.

In the light transmitting area AA1 a, the first light emitting devices ED1 provided in parallel along the light transmitting area AA1 a may be connected to the first pixel circuits PC1 provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b, and the second light emitting devices ED2 provided in parallel along the light transmitting area AA1 a may be connected to the second pixel circuits PC2 provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b.

To provide an additional description, in FIGS. 14 and 15, for example, the first pixel circuits PC1 provided in parallel along the non-transmissive area AA1 b in the non-transmissive area AA1 b may be connected to the first light emitting devices ED1 provided in parallel along the light transmitting area AA1 a provided at one side of the non-transmissive area AA1 b (for example, an upper end portion of the non-transmissive area AA1 b).

Moreover, in FIGS. 14 and 15, for example, the second pixel circuits PC2 provided in parallel along the non-transmissive area AA1 b in the non-transmissive area AA1 b may be connected to the second light emitting devices ED2 provided in parallel along the light transmitting area AA1 a provided at the other side of the non-transmissive area AA1 b (for example, a lower end portion of the non-transmissive area AA1 b).

In this case, the plurality of first light emitting devices ED1 and the plurality of second light emitting devices ED2 provided in the transparent area AA1 may be provided in one row in a first direction, and the second light emitting devices provided in one row in a first direction may be disposed to be staggered with respect to the first light emitting devices ED1 in a second direction differing from the first direction. For example, when a widthwise direction of FIG. 15 is the first direction and a lengthwise direction of FIG. 15 is the second direction, the first light emitting devices ED1 may be provided in one row in the first direction, and the second light emitting devices ED2 may be provided in one row in the first direction.

In this case, the plurality of first light emitting devices ED1 and the plurality of second light emitting devices ED2 may not be provided in one row in the second direction and may be disposed to be staggered in the second direction. That is, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the plurality of first light emitting devices ED1 and the plurality of second light emitting devices ED2 may be disposed in the light transmitting area AA1 a in opposite directions with the non-transmissive area AA1 b therebetween, and the first pixel circuits PC1 and the second pixel circuits PC2 for driving the first light emitting devices ED1 and the second light emitting devices ED2 may be provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b.

Moreover, in addition to the first pixel circuits PC1 and the second pixel circuits PC2, other pixel circuits and other light emitting devices connected to the other pixel circuits may be further provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b. That is, a plurality of pixels may be provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b, and thus, other pixel circuits and other light emitting devices configuring the pixels may be provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b.

In the present disclosure, as described above, the first pixel circuits PC1, the second pixel circuits PC2, and other pixel circuits may be provided in the non-transmissive area AA1 b, and the light emitting devices may be formed to be opaque. Therefore, in the non-transmissive area AA1 b, a transmittance of light may be very low due to the light emitting devices, the first pixel circuits PC1, the second pixel circuits PC2, and the other pixel circuits.

However, only the first light emitting devices ED1, the second light emitting devices ED2, and the signal lines SL may be provided in the light transmitting area AA1 a.

Therefore, a light transmittance of the light transmitting area AA1 a may be higher than that of the non-transmissive area AA1 b and may be higher than that of the light emitting display panel of the related art where a plurality of pixel circuits and a plurality of light emitting devices are provided as the same type.

The signal lines SL, as described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, may denote lines provided in parallel in the second direction Y, and the signal lines SL may include the initialization voltage line IVL, the data line DL, the pixel driving voltage line PL, etc.

That is, in the transparent area AA1 applied to the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIGS. 13 to 15, the non-transmissive area AA1 b including the first and second pixel circuits PC1 and PC2 and the light transmitting area AA1 a including only the light emitting devices and the signal lines SL may be alternately provided. In this case, a light transmittance of the light transmitting area AA1 a may be higher than that of the non-transmissive area AA1 b and may be higher than that of the light emitting display panel of the related art where a plurality of pixel circuits and a plurality of light emitting devices are provided as the same type.

Therefore, according to the present disclosure, a light transmittance of the transparent area AA1 may be enhanced.

Features of the present disclosure described above will be briefly described below.

In the present disclosure, seven transistors and one capacitor configuring one pixel driving circuit PDC may be divisionally disposed at two layers (i.e., the first pixel circuit layer 110 and the second pixel circuit layer 120), or two different pixel driving circuits PDC1 and PDC2 may be divisionally disposed at the first pixel circuit layer 110 and the second pixel circuit layer 120.

In this case, since a planarization layer is provided on a top surface of the first pixel circuit layer 110, the second pixel circuit layer 120 may be divided by the planarization layer. The planarization layer may include an organic material or an inorganic material, or may be formed by a combination of an organic material and an inorganic material.

That is, in the present disclosure, since a plurality of transistors included in at least one pixel driving circuit are divisionally provided at two layers, an area where a plurality of pixel driving circuits are provided may be minimized, and thus, a transparent area including no circuit may be secured and a camera may be disposed in the transparent area.

Moreover, according to the present disclosure, the transparency or light transmittance of the light emitting display panel 100 may be maximized, and when a camera is disposed at a lower portion of the light emitting display panel, a reduction in amount of light may decrease, and the form of the light transmitting area AA1 a may be simplified, thereby preventing an image captured by the camera from being distorted by a diffraction of light.

Moreover, according to the present disclosure, in a high-resolution light emitting display apparatus including a camera, an internal compensation circuit including seven transistors and one capacitor may be implemented.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is described that all transistors included in the pixel driving circuit PDC are implemented as a P type, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Therefore, without departing from the technical feature of the present disclosure where an ultrahigh-resolution pixel is implemented by stacking two circuit layers, the transistors may all be modified into an N type, or some transistors may be modified into an N type.

A light emitting display apparatus, to which the present disclosure is applied, may be applied to portable electronic devices, requiring a high resolution, such as smartphones, mobile communication terminals, mobile phones, tablet personal computers (PCs), smart watches, watch phones, and wearable devices, appliances such as televisions, notebook computers, monitors, and refrigerators, and various products such as virtual image display apparatuses and head-mounted display apparatuses.

Particularly, according to the present disclosure, a light emitting display panel where a plurality of optical sensors including a camera are disposed at a rea surface thereof and a resolution of 200 ppi or more is realized may be implemented.

Moreover, in the above description, the display area of the light emitting display panel may include the transparent area AA1 and the opaque area AA2, but the display area may include only the transparent area AA1.

That is, in the above description, as an example of the present disclosure, a light emitting display panel has been described where a structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the opaque area AA2 is the same as or similar to a structure of the pixel driving circuit PDC in the opaque area AA2, which is used currently and generally.

However, in the light emitting display panel according to the present disclosure, the opaque area AA2 may be formed in the same structure as that of the transparent area AA1.

That is, in the present disclosure, the display area of the light emitting display panel may be configured with only the transparent area AA1 described above.

In the light emitting display panel according to the present disclosure, a plurality of transistors configuring each of a plurality of pixel driving circuits may be divisionally disposed at two layers. Therefore, even in a case where a size of each pixel is reduced by realizing a high resolution, a pixel driving circuit including a compensation circuit may be sufficiently disposed in each pixel, thereby implementing a high-resolution light emitting display panel.

The above-described feature, structure, and effect of the present disclosure are included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, but are not limited to only one embodiment. Furthermore, the feature, structure, and effect described in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure may be implemented through combination or modification of other embodiments by those skilled in the art. Therefore, content associated with the combination and modification should be construed as being within the scope of the present disclosure.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the light emitting display panel of the present disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of this disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
